The man held up a Washington Mutual branch on Midway Drive at 6 p.m. Bank employees told police he was the last customer in before they locked the glass front doors and that he bumped into them trying to leave.

He yelled that he would shoot someone if they didn't let him out, police said.

The robber was described as possibly about 40 years old, 150 pounds, 5 feet 8 inches tall, with crooked teeth. He wore a dark blue jacket, light-colored jeans and a dark baseball cap with a red bill.

Teenager shot
by passenger in car

LINCOLN PARK – A passenger in a small red car opened fire on three teens, wounding one in the shoulder, as they walked down 47th Street last night, police said.

The victim, 18, was taken to a hospital with a wound described as not life-threatening, San Diego police Sgt. Bob Dare said.

The teenager was walking with two friends north of Castana Street about 7:30 p.m. when the car rolled by. A passenger may have gotten out, asked a question related to a gang or tagger crew, then fired at the three before getting back in the car and leaving, police said.
